Proving the Bible is false in few words.

3. Yeah, you've made this point a number of times. Why is uncertainty so important?

Because without it we have no option of believing : God wouldn't be giving us a choice.

Sorry about the philosbabble. I find it alarmingly easy to slip into it.

No problem, sorry for my ignorance

Microphysical facts are the facts re. very low-level physical states- think of quantum mechanics and you'll be close enough. P is the complete set of microphysical facts that describes the universe in terms of low-level physics. Obviously, it isn't (and will never be) a practical proposition to actually know P, but we're talking metaphysics here, so practicalities aren't an issue (one reason why I'm not so keen on metaphysics).

Phenomenal facts are the facts re. higher-level phenomena such as objects, stars and also conscious states, social institutions etc. Q is the complete set of phenomenal facts that describe the universe on higher levels of analysis. It explicitly includes facts about phenomena that aren't normally thought of as physical - i.e. mental and social phenomena.

Materialist monism says that P necessarily entails Q. In other words, given P there is no other way that Q could be.

Sound good to you?

Metaphysics entails musings of the human mind. So human musings are merely that?

You're stretching beyond knowable boundaries, even using the word 'fact' in there. What is logically suggested is unknown, so what is extraneous to that is even more so.

So if that's the case, I disagree.
